Coverage, prices, and whether you even need one.
# SIM Card or eSIM for Siena? What Actually Works
Airalo and Holafly both work well on TIM/Vodafone networks in Siena. €15–€25 for 7 days, 10GB. Activate before you land.
Physical SIM
TIM Tourist Pass: €25, 50GB, 30 days. Buy at the TIM store on Via Banchi di Sopra. Need a passport.
Coverage inside the walls
Excellent on TIM, good on Vodafone, patchy on Iliad. Inside the Duomo: nothing. Inside thick palazzi: 4G drops to 3G.
Skip the SIM if…
You'll be here 3 days max, your US/UK plan includes EU roaming, and your hotel has solid wifi. Most do.
